Startup Event Outlook For The Remainder of 2013

Like it? Share it!

As we enter the second half of the year, we felt that it would be worth looking upcoming conferences and programs from around the region as details about the events begin to emerge. We already have a calendar, but it would be worth now going into more detail and to provide some links for purchasing tickets to the events. Most of these are conferences, but there are some weekend events, too. I am not sure that we managed to include every single CEE event for the rest of 2013, but I think that we managed to put together a pretty comprehensive list and would welcome any tips regarding events we might have missed.
